Job Description:

Lead Business Interruption Surveyor

• Play a pivotal role in mitigating business interruption risks for a reputable, customer-centric insurer.
• Contribute to the advancement of our commercial growth strategy.
• Remote role with UK-wide travel – package includes car allowance or company car scheme.

About the role

Join NFU Mutual as the Lead Business Interruption Surveyor and play a crucial role in enhancing our approach to business interruption risk management. In this position, you’ll provide expert technical insight and thought leadership across all aspects of Business Interruption (BI) risk management, supporting our expanding portfolio across a diverse range of commercial sectors, beyond just farming.

This is a brand-new role within the team where you’ll research, develop, and implement comprehensive risk management strategies, procedures, and standards for corporate and BI surveying. Your expertise will be essential in shaping a sustainable and profitable BI risk appetite. Additionally, you’ll lead efforts to transfer knowledge, skills, and expertise to the Loss Control Surveyors, Underwriting, and Agency colleagues.

You’ll conduct detailed BI and other corporate surveys on larger and more complex risks, offering in-depth risk management advice to mitigate potential losses. Collaboration is key in this role, as you’ll build and maintain strong relationships with senior management within clients’ businesses, as well as with internal teams, including Underwriting, Claims, Agents, and other NFU Mutual colleagues.

The role is home-based and requires significant travel across the UK (including Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man) for surveys, client visits, team meetings, and external events. You can expect to be on the road several days each week, with the flexibility to plan your travel and work schedules in advance.

About you

You’re an experienced risk management professional with well-rounded corporate insurance experience and a good understanding of, and a particular interest in, BI insurance risks across a variety of commercial sectors. You’ll understand the nuances of contingent BI, particularly in more complex industries such as food production.

You’ll have considerable experience in risk management and loss prevention strategies, with a proven ability to estimate potential losses accurately and provide detailed technical advice.

Additionally, you’ll have:

• An open-minded approach coupled with experience of coaching and training colleagues on corporate and BI risks, hazards, and appropriate loss prevention measures.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to provide detailed technical advice to internal and external stakeholders.
• A proven ability to influence and negotiate at all levels, engaging effectively with senior stakeholders and customers.
• A full, valid UK Driving Licence is essential for this role.

At NFU Mutual, we support an inclusive workplace and value all the differences that make us unique. We celebrate the creativity and innovation that comes from diverse perspectives and experiences and share a common vision of doing the right thing for our customers and employees.

We recognise that some candidates may experience barriers during the recruitment process. So, we encourage candidates to discuss any adjustments or accommodations they need to be the best they can be throughout our recruitment process.
